Looking good so far Charlie!!!

Thought the Chrome valve covers would look good on it so I left them alone!! Shot clear on the frame but after I had the engine in it flattened out!?!? Oh well! Not pulling it apart to try another clear! I’ll use something different when I do the body panels though! tires and wheels are done and ready to go on, body and interior are next!!!

Chassis is painted along with engine! Engine is in the chassis and next onto wheels and tires!!!

Oh yeah!!!! That has a Kool look about it!!!!!

Right you are there!! Have a crazed mess on my hands!!!!

Looks like a real truck sitting there all purty like!!!! Great detailing Brian!!!!

Kool!! Thanks for the info Brian!!!

Looking great Brian!!!!! Love the stretched bed and engine choice on it!!!!

Thank you for the info Håkan, were they gloss white?

I hope I hope this helps you. If you need better photos or measurements let me know!!

Ooooo now this will be a Kool project to watch!!!! I know you’ll do it justice too!!!

Looking great Jacobus!!!! Coming along nicely!!!

I wanted to build it to look like an older Pete as it is I guess! Lol, doesn’t matter I caught the handle when moving things for paint and knocked it off and now on the front side of the fifth wheel... chassis is in flat black, need one more coat then onto metallic black!!! Engine is ready for primer grey then to the Allison color green. Then onto wheels and tires then body. Then hopefully I can find a flat bed trailer to put behind it....

CHassis ready for primer and paint!! Added the pull handle for the release on the fifth wheel..

Looks Kool

Wasn’t sure, had to ask!! Thanks for clearing that up Brian!! Gonna look Kool for sure!!!!

James, that is looking killer!!!! Love the idea on the grille surround. Kind of where I thought it was going to go initially when you started putting the 58 on the rear deck!!

Looking good Brian!!!! Just a question, are you leaving the mis-match height between the bed and cab?

With watching the rummage sale today I was able to get the chassis mostly done! Just have to put brakes and steering linkage on then it’s time for paint!

Sweet, can’t wait to see it come together Brian!!! Got some more chassis work done on my Pete today!!

Good idea Craig!!! Will try it when I get that far! I know I’ve seen guys on here do the spoon test! I’ll have to pick me up some!! Lol Hope all is well with the family!!

I know it’s not in every issue! I don’t think they stopped it as they SAE photographers took photos at the Milwaukee NNL for an upcoming article they’re putting together on scale semi wreckers...

Wow!!!! Looks like a true work horse Gator!!!! Love it!!!!!

I have gotten the chassis mostly done except a few small parts, then it’s time for paint! engine is mostly together as well, then paint for it too!! Hopefully by next week both will be in paint and ready for bright work! Then off to the body!!!

Wow!!! That is looking awesome!!!!!
